Sounds like you want git describe --contains.

I'm using git to extract changelog entries into a MySQL database, and
I want to be able to associate each changelog with the official
release in which it first appears. I can use "git-tag -l" to see a
list of the tags, and I can use "git-log tag1..tag2" to view all the
changelogs between two tags, but neither of these are exactly what I
want.
My script keeps track of the most recent changelog entry that it has
processed into the MySQL database, so the next time it runs, it picks
up from that entry, using "`git-log sha1string.. --pretty=fuller", and
inserts only the changelogs since that entry into the database.
What I'd like is to still be able to get only the entries since that
sha1 string, while somehow identifying the tag of the release
encompassing each entry listed in that set. Then when I input the
changelog into my database, I can associate it with the proper
official release (or -rc candidate).
Is there a command to do that? I don't see anything in the man pages
for it.
